HANNA CONFERS
; WITH ROOSEVELT
DID NOT DISCUSS REPUBLICAN
MATTERS, BUT SPENT MOST OF
THE TIME ON THE NEW PAN
AMA QUESTION.
Washington, Nnrrmbrr JO,—An Import
ant conference concerning the Panama
situation was held at the White Mouse
today Just prior to the cabinet meeting.
The. participants In the conference were
President Roosevelt, Senator Hanna and
members of the cabinet. The decision
reached. If any, was not disclosed.
Shortly before 11 oY'look Senator Hanna
arrived at the executive offices, accom
panied by W, J. Curtis, a member of the
law firm of Sullivan A Cromwell, of New
York, attorneys In this country for the
new Panama canal. They were admitted
to the President's odTIce at once.
Mr. Curtis remained only a few min
utes. He said he merely paid his re
spects to the President. Senator Hanna
remained with the President for more
than half ah hour. Long after the mem
bers of the cabinet has assembled, he
and the President continued to talk, sev
eral cabinet officers joining In the con
versation.
As Senator Hanna left the white house
lie chatted frankly. He said he and the
President had not discussed the question
of the chairmanship of he national re
publican committee. "In fact," he said,
"that matter has not been mentioned to
day. It Is a dead Issue anyhow."
"We talked on a- variety of topics," he
continued, "among them the Panama sit
uation. That is not a political question—
not even a technical one. The people of
this country want an Isthmian canal
built, ahd they want It built by the Pan
ama route. They have accepted the Pan
ama route and they propose to stand by
tho President In the matter of construct
ing the canal by that route."
Senator Hanna was asked whether In
his opinion It would be necessary to enact
new legislation to provide for negotia
tions Iwtween the United States and the
Republic of Panama for the construc
tion of that canal. He replied a new
treaty would be necessary, of course,
hut did Mat think Berious difficulty would
be encountered in negotiating a canal
treaty with Panama.
TO HARNESS BIG FALLS.
Scheme on Foot to Furnish Power Will
Be Favorably Reported.
Louisville, Ky„ November 10.—At the
conclusion of a conference between capi
talists representing the Weldner-Elkins
interests and Major-General M. Derby,
United States engineer for the district,
It was announced that the plan for har
nessing the falls of the Ohio to generate
power for a vast plant will be favorably
reported to the war department.
The project for utilizing the water
power has been under consideration for
some time. It was necessary, however,
to secure first the consent of the war
department to the plan and to demon
strate that the navigation RiWl certain
riparian rights maintained by the gov
ernment would not ho Interfered with.
The capitalists representing the Weid
ncr-EIklns Interests for the past three
months had engineers drawing up their
plans.
These plans were considered by Major
Derby at the conference today, and af
ter the meeting It was announced that
Major Derby would give a partial In
dorsement of them to the war depart
ment. Beyond this no Information was
given by those concerned. It was
learned, however, that If the final con
sent of the government shall he secured,
the capitalists will spend about J2,000,0fi0
for their initial power plant, which will
be of sufficient size to furnish electrical
power and light not only to Louisville,
but to traction lines and towns within a
radius covering part of southern Indiana
and northern Kentucky. The plans. It is
reported today, were drawn by Benezett
Williams, engineer for the Chicago drain
age canal.
GREAT RUSH FOR LAND.

Minn., Causing Intense Excitement.
Crookston, Minn.. November 10.—The

for the receipt of entries on the Red
Cake lands today.
A large number’of men and several wo
men, after having spent their life's sav
ings to leach the hand, and hovering
about the land office two days, and
standing In line several hours, went
through It all In vain. Some one else
got ahead of them. Three women and
two men fainted. Men would not aban
don their places In the line to go to, their
rescue, as they feared for themselves.
For the most part the fights were fair
and no foul methods were employed, ex
cept In the case of A. D. Olsen of Klk
River, Minn., who, worn out mid ex
hausted, was given a hard fight by a ri
val claimant, who continually struggled
to get ahead. Just as It was almost time
to open the office a heavy blow was
landed on Olsen's stomach and he fell
unconscious.
The rush here today broke all records
for a land office business anywhere In the
northwest. The total filings numbered 172
and about as many were disappointed.
The biggest price paid yesterday fell to
the first flier. Miss Oustava R. Anderson
of F.lk River, who got sonic choice tim
ber land worth about 112,000.

WASHINGTON GIVES
SOME SOUND ADVISE
Race Question Discussed at
Conference of Leaders
SHOULD BUILD SOMETHING
He Says That Should Be the Great
Theme of Discussion and Less
Condemnations of Wrongs.
Leave the Rest to God.
Washington, November 10.—Booker T.
Washington today spoke at the confer
ence of negro leaders on the rate prob
lem. Despite the fact that the special
problems of the city negroes, raping and
lynching, were before the conference for
discussion, he carefully avoided them,
devoting his time to general advice to
the conference.
•'I feel,” he said, "If I had listened
more and talked less than 1 have done,
I should have accomplished more In the
work I have started to do.”
He referred to the need of harmony
among organisations and repeated that
the National Sociological society had a
work to do which no other organization
could perform. Continuing, he said:
"I am glad we are getting to the point
where we can come together without re
gard to denomination, or even as a party,
to discuss these problems. There are two
things that I want to say to you. I
hope you will bear in mind that the
great body of your people live In the
south. There are eight millions In the
south and they will be there for years.
If you would help us, you must keep in
touch with thOBe who are striving to
better the conditions there.
There are those who expect to remain
in the south and our people must suffer
with them. In the discussions of the
conference, condemnations of wrongs
should have a large part, but a large part
should be given to bringing out some
thing constructive. There are wrongs
to be sure, some of* us live in sections
where we hear them and eat them for
breakfast, dinner and supper. But. along
with condemnation, there is a demand
for something constructive. What can
you actually project, or what relief can
you bring?"
Before leaving the floor. Professor
Washington was asked by the Rev. Hen
ry Johnson of Baltimore, if he saw any
tendency toward the adoption of his own
constructive theories, to which the leader
replied:
"My own feeling is that we must do our
duty In the line of human progress, and
if we see any Immediate result or not,
we should trust to God to help us out."
J. W. Lyons, the negro leader and reg
ister of the treasury, also spoke, advising
the conference to ferret out* the crimes :
which had brought forth the numerous j
lynchlngs in order to show' the wrong
done the race.
A committee was appointed to show by
the records the truth of the statement
made by the Rev. Dr. Caruthers of
Washington that the white man of Chi- 1
cago had been guilty of more crime than
the entire negro community in the same
length of time.

whatever were encountered.
The provisional government at Panama
has received a telegram from President
Marroquin of the new republic of Colom
bia, giving assurances that the Panama
canal bill would most certainly pass con
gress next August, and that General
Reyes was on his way to the isthmus to
make proposals looking to peace and the
saving of the national honor.
The provisional government has sent a
letter to General Reyes which will reach
him on his arrival at Savanilla. advising
that it is useless for him to comb to pan
ama, as his mission Is a hopeless one.
The United States cruiser Atlanta has
Just arrived from her cruise along the

CUBANS WANT COMPENSATION.
President Palma Is Criticised by Mem
ber of Senate.
Havana. November 10.—The question of
a lottery In connection with the army

cussion In the senate today. Senator Del
gao, the author of the lottery bill, re
plying to President Palma's statement
that the war veterans would accept the
proceeds of the loan as full satisfaction
of their claims, warmly denounced that
statement, and said that no one who ap
plauded the President's assurances dur
ing his recent tour of the country, sur
peeted that the amount to be paid to the
veterans would he reduced to till.500,000
from $a5,oro,ooo, the full amount of the
veterans' claims.

the Amalgamated Copper company in
Montana, to the Butte miners’ union that
if Governor Toole would summon the
legislature In special session the Amal
gamated would at once resume opera
tions In Montana, the order was given
today for all the mines to open.
The resumption of tho Amalgamated
properties means the return to work of
approximately 20,000 men and the avert
ing of an industrial crisis in Montana,
ns the Amalgamated Copper company
operates in six different counties. In
Butte alone It restores a payroll of
about 1260,000 a day. Seven thousand

When Wit Is Perfect.
Sidney Smith.
When wit is combined with sense and
Information, when It If softened hy bene
volence and restrained hy strong princi
ple; when It Is in the hands of a man
who can use It and despise It, who can
be witty and sometimes much better than
witty, who loves honor, justice, decency,
good nature, morality and religion, ten
thousand times better than wit—wit Is
then a heautiful and delightful part of
our nature.
The Girl Athlete.
From Everybody's Magazine.
When the young woman athlete is por
trayed we generally see a combination of
Juno and Amazon, a stalwart, not to say
strapping, type made current by C. D.
Gibson. As a matter of fact, In the track
athletes at Vassar last spring it was an
entirely different build of girl who took
the lead. The feminine record for run
ning broad jump and standing broad
jump were both broken by a gentle, fra
gile-looking girl who would almost he
called little, but who, nevertheless, lifted
the records to respectively 14 feet 8>4
inches and 7 feet 7 inches. Another rec
ord-breaker, who did the 220-yard run In
30 3-5 seconds. Is slender to the point of
frailness and must weigh under 126
pounds. There were dozens of typical
women athcletes sitting in' thd grass
cheering the events, but, as a rule, that
was as far as they took part. The honors
went to champions whom no seeker of
